Rather than explain what Mormons DON'T believe about Christ, I wanted to share a few things that Mormons DO believe about Him. Just some quick thoughts.
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Tell me why your prophet said something else? There is one GOD.
@thatmormonboy "Ham will continue to be servant of servants, as the Lord decreed, until the curse is removed. Will the present struggle [the U.S. civil war] free the slave? No.... Can you destroy the decrees of the Almighty? You cannot." LDS "Prophet" Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 10, p. 250, 1863.
Also, go to blacklds.org and look into the things that bother you or make you angry about the issue. As you study the subject honestly and thoroughly, you will find that most of the disturbing things you've heard about Mormonism are totally bogus.
The "blatant racism" that you see is based in rumors and probably a little anti-Mormon propaganda. There is no doctrine in this church about blacks being cursed. When it comes to Mormonism, the only racism that exists are the hollow accusations of critics. We need not argue about this; just go to a church any Sunday, casually stroll in, and hang out through a couple meetings. Ask yourself if you see or feel any racism going on :)
@goodgirlkay Well, I for one am proud of the distinction between us and mainline Christianity. I just don't like when the fact that we worship Christ and claim to be HIS church is dismissed. As for blacks, I'd suggest you watch Reo here's other video on that subject.
@billysunerson Secondly, you don't have to worship other Gods to be a politheist, you just have to believe that other Gods exist...I am not condemning Mormons for this belief, I am just pointing out that this makes them politheistic and not monotheistic. My major problem with Mormons is the blatant racism in your philosophy that this guy and others have tried justifying... I would like someone to ask Romney if he too believes that black people were cursed by God...
@billysunerson Whatever your perception of me, I am not interested in dissension, I am interested in the truth...I actually have no problems with Mormons calling themselves Christians...What I have a problem with are Mormons who attempt to whitewash the differences between themselves and mainline Christianity...I am especially offended by the SICK idea that black people were cursed by God, because of actions in the pre-existence...and Mormons still trying to justify this idea...
@goodgirlkay You're obviously more interested in dissension than a thoughtful exchange. So I won't waste any energy arguing. I'll only say that we are not polytheistic because there is only one God we worship. Polytheism would imply worship of many gods. But we don't. Any other beings in the same state as our God are none of our concern, they have no authority in this sphere. They might as well not exist at all. It's like worrying about the mayor of a city you've never heard of; inconsequential.
Another good video, well done.

You also believe that special underwear protects you from demons.
You also believe that you'll be the god over your own planet after this life.
Your church president had a dream in 1978, from which he arose proclaiming that black people could become mormons.
mormons had to relinquish polygamy in order for Utah to become a state.
You store a year's supply of food in your houses.
And, so on.
